    Undocumented and Unafraid: Student Advocates Speak Out for Immigration Reform

    This episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast features a panel discussion with young organizers and student advocates from the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (NAKASEC), in addition to the Korean Resource Center (KRC), based in Los Angeles, California. On September 21, 2021, thousands of immigration advocates from across the country marched in Washington D.C. to welcome Congress back from their August recess at the “Welcome Back Congress – March for Citizenship, Care, and Climate.” This group of organizers, all of whom are DACA recipients and/or undocumented, discuss how they found the confidence to become more involved in the movement for immigration reform and securing a pathway to citizenship for themselves, and other undocumented communities.  Matthew Hernandez (KRC), Ferny Estrada (KRC), Hyunja Norman (Woori Juntos), and Hwangchan Yu (Hana Center) share more about the strength in intersectional organizing and making sure that all immigrant communities are represented in advocacy campaigns to finally secure a pathway to citizenship and permanent protections for undocumented immigrants. Rachel Koelzer, the Communications Manager at NAKASEC, also joins us and speaks to the benefits that a pathway to citizenship would have for the Asian immigrant community, specifically in being able to respond to increased incidents of hate and violence.

    Securing A Pathway To Citizenship & Immigration Reform

    There is no better time than now to lend your voice to the fight to secure a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants! That’s why this week’s episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast is all about the ongoing efforts of grassroots advocates, allies in Congress, and directly impacted communities across the country to finally passing legislation that protects millions of Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and essential immigrant workers from deportation. You’ll hear from long-time immigration advocates Lia Parada, who currently serves as the Director of Legislative Advocacy at The Immigration Hub, and Diana Pliego, a DACA recipient herself, and Policy Associate with the National Immigration Law Center. Lia and Diana share how programs like DACA demonstrate the profound benefits that legal status has to support the educational and professional ambitions of millions of young and talented people. We also discuss why a pathway to citizenship for the millions of essential contributors to the U.S. economy is long overdue and must be fulfilled by members of Congress. Listen in to learn how anyone can take action at the grassroots and federal policy levels to urge Congress to pass a pathway to citizenship in the upcoming budget process and infrastructure legislation.

    Housing is Health Care: Finding the Political Will to End Homelessness

    In this episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast, co-hosts Abigail Alpern Fisch and Leo Nguyen from the Coalition on Human Needs discuss issues of housing, health care, and policy to address the challenges for those experiencing poverty and facing homelessness. Listeners will hear from two members of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC): Dr. Courtney Plasden from Portland, Maine, the council’s clinical director, and Art Rios Sr., the Chair of the National Health Care Consumer Advisory Board based out of Portland, Oregon. Courtney and Art share how their lived experiences with homelessness influence their ongoing work providing direct services to homeless populations both before, and during, the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we are joined by Steve Berg, the Vice President of Policy and Programs at the National Alliance to End Homelessness in Washington D.C. Steve shares how advocates at the grassroots and federal levels must continue to push forward policies during the budget reconciliation process and economic recovery legislation that could make a real difference in the lives of those at risk of, or facing, homelessness.

    How to Achieve Equity Before Birth? Paid Leave & Child Care For All.

    In this special episode of the "Voices for Human Needs" podcast, we continue our last discussion on the fight against child poverty, but with a focus on creating greater equity both before, and after a child is born. Our featured speaker is Joy Spencer, the Executive Director of Equity Before Birth, a nonprofit in Durham, North Carolina, and a member of MomsRising. Co-hosts Abigail Alpern Fisch and Leo Nguyen from the Coalition on Human Needs speak with Joy about how she channels her lived experiences as a single mother navigating limited paid leave policies and the lack of child care infrastructure into her professional and community advocacy work on behalf of positive health outcomes for all children and families. Joy’s story not only highlights the need to pass critical proposals within the American Families Plan that would expand infrastructure for paid family leave, medical leave, and child care, but also, how such policies will promote greater equity and support all families across the socio-economic spectrum, especially BIPOC parents. Last, but not least, Joy advises listeners on how to connect with other advocates in their communities and utilize storytelling to inform the elected leaders on these needed policies.

    A Critical Moment to Reduce Child Poverty

    This episode of Voices for Human Needs is all about how critical this moment in time is for children’s activists and the enduring fight to combat child poverty in the United States. Co-hosts Abigail Alpern Fisch and Leo Nguyen from the Coalition on Human Needs speak with national policy advocates Emma Mehrabi from the Children’s Defense Fund and Bruce Lesley from First Focus on Children. These long-time policy advocates and organizers discuss how policy has addressed children historically, the impacts of changing policy for children and families who rely on certain benefits as we find our way out of the pandemic, and how the recently expanded Child Tax Credit passed in the American Rescue Plan and ongoing economic recovery proposals in the American Families and Jobs Plans are revolutionizing the policy landscape regarding investments in children. Last but not least, Emma and Bruce provide suggestions for advocates and organizers of any age on how to take action in combating child poverty in their communities through advocacy and centering the voices of young people.
